Birchbox X Skinny Dip London

I think this is the one box everyone has been waiting on since the promo for the collaboration started and one I was quite interested in to receive, until I received it. Birchbox X Skinny Dip should of been the WOW box that got everyone talking, the one with the incredible samples and beautiful boxes. Don't get me wrong, the boxes are beautiful but that is probably the best bit about this entire collaboration. Can you tell I'm not an iPhone owner?

I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting. I'd heard that there would be the choice to upgrade for the phone case in the November Birchbox, which my sister has very happily taken off my hands which is all well and good if you own an iPhone but other than that nothing else in this month's box screams Skinny Dip. The samples inside are some what disappointing other than the Ren product. How many more hair repair creams, perfume samples and hand creams do you need a month? The only thing that softens the disappointment of a rubbish box is the £10 voucher... well the £10 off you get via Skinny Dip's website IF you spend £24 or more.

There is a competition you can enter to win a fabulous bundle of Skinny Dip prizes which would probably make up for this month's box, I know it would put a HUGE smile on my face. All you have to do is upload a pic of your Birchbox X Skinny Dip box to Instagram, tag @BirchboxUK and your squad aka your best friends while using the hashtag #BirchboxUK.

What did you think of this month's box? Were you as disappointed as me?
